I am not a huge fan of Sergio Rossi shoes, but his SS08 collection is a hit in my book. One of the standout pieces is the white patent pump with a black paintdrip effect. It gives a classic shape a very artsy (but not avant-garde) twist.

I recently found these great canvas pumps from affordable avant-garde label Slow and Steady Wins the Race. The shape is modern (I am incredibly picky about heel shapes and placement) and well proportioned despite the mid-height. The best part is that they have NO embellishment or details whatsoever, just pure blank canvas!As soon as I saw them my mind went nuts with the possibilities for personalization. They are just begging to be painted/drawn on! I thought about it a bit and thought that a Pollock-like design would suit them perfectly, such as this one:

I would wear them with my Rick Owens black t-shirt dress and nothing else!

Then I saw the black ones. I would drip and splatter only white paint on them...

how would you make then "yours"?better the Rossi pumps or your own crazy take on it?

I love s-s 08 collection of sergio Rossi. But I wote for creativity!as you know Fendi made new make-your-own-baguette. It sells with 10 pantone universe markers to create your own design on the bag. Great idea!!!Few years ago adidas also sells sneakers with highlighters.
